lyrics

You walked through the basement and fell to the floor by the latch
You reached for the sink that your fingers were too weak to catch
You coated your veins with elixirs for emptiness’ sake
You might have been found by the medics to stun you awake

The beans all did blossom but all of those blossoms were beaned
The world might have ended for us in twenty-seventeen
With no guts or gumption and both barrels aimed at the ground
The heft of the hailstorm did rattle a thunderous sound

It snows all day on the castaway
On ice they slide, into the grave they glide

I lean on the stepstool to foster a sense of who’s here
A midwintry light passed through tears in the pale wicker chair
Tied to the hinterland, unliving housemates abound
Stepped to the shore in the storm where the bravest are drowned

It snows all day on the castaway
On ice they slide, into the grave they glide

about

Teething Veils image

Teething Veils Washington, D.C.

"These songs—sepia-toned yet searching, eccentric yet melodically inclined—add up to something that feels like its own universe, sometimes wistful, sometimes the kind of menacing only achieved via a late-career Tom Waits death rattle." -Wash CP
